Whether you're a traditional, CG, or stop-motion animator, to create realistic motion it's helpful to know some physics. This site is dedicated to presenting physics that's useful to and in the language spoken by animation artists.


What's New ?

Tip of the hat goes out to Ian Lacey for featuring us on his excellent site, Animation Resource Centre; check it out for many other useful resources for animators.

Just back from SIGGRAPH 2008 in Los Angeles; posted a couple of photos.

The second tutorial, Physics of Paths of Action, is now available in the Tutorials section.

The "Physics of Animation" project was featured on National Public Radio's All Things Considered.

This site is heavily under construction. Check back periodically for updates.
